Chapter 33 - 3.3

It was eight pm the amusement park was still bustling with families and friends. Lively with the laughter and excited screams of children and adults as they experienced the many rides. Unfortunately it was closing time. The park manager announced in the speakers and the people confused slowly left.

The manager sighed they didn't usually close so early it was just that last night the watchman had seen someone inside the park, way after the closing and they decided to check tonight so they closed early.

when the last group left the manager went to the main switch box of the park and switched off all the lights and rides in the park. He was walking back when suddenly the lights all turned on and the rides started moving on their own. The manager's eyes widened, He quickly ran back to the main switch box but he found that the switches were all off.

His breath hitched and he fearfully turned looking everywhere. Suddenly feeling a gaze on him he turned His head and saw the Ferris wheel. His breathing became uneven as he watched frozen in fear and confusion. The Ferris wheel moved slowly, a figure appeared in his eyes.

A small Girl about seven or eight with long flowing hair wearing a cream-colored frock stared straight at him expressionless her eyes seemed dead and held no ripples of emotions at all.

The manager suddenly reacted " AAA! Ghost! Ghost! "

---------------------

"You called us here because you saw someone in the park after it was closed last night?" Daniel said glancing at the park that was full of people.

" Not someone sir it was a ghost of a girl I'm telling you it appeared out of nowhere and disappeared out of nowhere!" The frightened manager whispered.

"Hah! Did the girl turn into a ghost? There is no such thing as dead people coming back as ghosts" Cain muttered disdainfully, " We have caught a lot of these so-called dead souls wandering in the living they all Turned out to be living humans in the end"

"Well than we will see at night, let's go for now" Daniel turned to Cain.

"Good idea I was getting hungry anyway let's stop by at the Arc restaurant." Cain smiled mildly.

-----------------------

At night Cain and Daniel arrived back at the park and following the manager they saw him switch off all the lights and rides and then they hid. Silently waiting for the dead girl's ghost.

They waited for half an hour and were getting tired of squatting. once again just like before the park suddenly lit up and the rides started to move Daniel and Cain shared surprised glances and quickly moved to the main switch.

Just like the manager they were surprised to find them all off. They looked carefully and did not find anything extra it was the same as when the manager opened it.

They looked around the entire park and found no one. The phenomenon continued for ten minutes then everything stopped no longer moving on its own.

Cain suddenly laughed out loud. Daniel turned startled " Tsk Have your screw loosened finally?" he said huffing.

"Haha no the screw actually tightened" Cain grinned "We need to report to senior inspector Thomas Neil. I have discovered something interesting".

------------------

At the headquarters, Thomas listened carefully to the story Cain reported back and smiled. " Good work, We will get to it again but first let me say that we found out something else as well"

"After questioning the neighbors we found that two days ago at night time they had seen Amanda walk into the villa...Before the death of Nikki" Thomas spoke slowly looking each of his teammates in the eyes, "Shall we go find out from the person herself what she was doing at the villa so late at night?"

With a smile like a devil's, The group arrived at the villa where the suspects were being watched over by Judy a junior inspector who was still in training.

Thomas walked in and sat on the sofa in front of the family. He sat silently watching them quietly. The three felt the air had turned tense and suffocating. The silence was like a calm before the storm.

"Miss Amanda" Amanda jumped at the sudden address and looked at Thomas her heart thudding in her chest. "Miss Amanda...What were you doing at the villa so late at night just hours before Nikki's death?"

"Y-YOU ARE SUSPECTING ME!?" she roared suddenly tears pouring down her eyes.

"Miss Amanda we are merely questioning not saying your are the killer" yet.

"It's my home can't I come back?" Amanda said trembling and sobbing.

"Your home?" Thomas raised an eyebrow.

"It was my home! It was mine until....until she came and stole it!"

"Amanda!" Amanda's mother berated her, her voice carried a hidden warning.

"Sir I apologize but please leave she is not in the condition for your interrogations," Leonard spoke with pursed lips.

"oh alright then" Thomas stood up and leisurely walked out with his team.

"Sir are we leaving just like this?" Joann asked.

"I already have what I needed, now just one thing before we lay the trap" Thomas smiled.

---------------------

"My dear princess ~ Is the thing ready ~," Thomas said cheerfully.

"Princess my ass!" A long metal box came flying from behind the desk.

Thomas reached out and caught it professionally "Princess you are awesome thank you for helping ~"

"Get lost!" came the reply. Thomas chuckled his gold eyes twinkling merrily as he swaggered out.

Hades Watson (Ryse) sighed when the sound of the footsteps slowly disappeared. Raising his hand he places it on his cheeks that were without a doubt red.

He glanced down at the clear desk that reflected his appearance and gritted his teeth. Soft gold locks fellto his shoulders and a pair of blue and gold eyes blinked.

----------------------

At the amusement park, the manager as usual switched off the rides and the lights. He did not leave rather he walked towards the staff room. He had not walked a few steps when the rides suddenly started on their own.

The manager startled looked at the rides "Impossible" He muttered.

"What's Impossible hmm?"
